Okay. So i think were ready to get started. Sorry for the delay. But welcome to the first meeting. Our session is called historians in court, examines the complex role of historians applying their scholarly skills to courtroom litigation. Thanks first to the oah for organizing this session and in particular to the president , nancy cott, for her support of our endeavor here today. Today we will address a timely topic, the participation of historians in courtroom proceedings. There is no systemic study, but the evidence we have indicates that the use of, for instance, scholarly am kus briefs where scholarings filed briefs in Court Proceedings has been increasing. Now, there is a long history of scholarly input into Appellate Court cases stretching back at least to the famous brandis brief in 1908. But for our purposes, our pedigree as historians will be traced back to the brown versus board of education in which the distinguished historians helped the naac thrks make the case against Sc

We begin with the rv that caught fire in the middle of highway 101. Started around 4 30 this afternoon in the northbound lanes just past holly street in san carlos. Chp shut down both lanes in both drechblingts they have since reopened. Rv returning from a rocket show and had 4 rocket on board. No word yet what rocket started the fire. Also a lrj pro tank tank on board common for rv. So crew fight the flame from a distance in case the tank exploded. Cars were stuck for a couple of hours while the rv burned. Sky 7 was overhead as motorcycle drove backward through traffic to try to get out of the jam there. Other drivers forced to wait it out. Some were signature on the side of the freeway frustrated with the long delay. Both sides of that roadway are now open. This video shaivrd on periscope. Heavy smoke and all the drivers out of the cars. For hours earlier today both freeway and surface streets through downtown San Francisco also jammed while check out what could have been a bomb. Dev
The six . 30 plus 6, so 36 total. 36 total, thank you. Our location criteria has been basically we need to in order to be effective we need to be as close to the bus terminal as possible. 50 to 100 feet [speaker not understood]. Bus drivers have 5 to 10 minutes during a break so we want to make it as convenient as possible. As far as following the dpw ordinance regarding serviceman dated facility guidelines, i. E. , setbacks from pedestrian zone, six foot minimum clearance if we can get it. Lets see. Where we have located them on sidewalks we try to provide a build out and locate them close to utilities to minimize cost. Like i said, weve gone to general plan referral. Were going through the mentoring process which involves quite a bit of community outreach. Weve gotten Art Commission approval, ceqa review, [speaker not understood] and also dpw directors. Now, mta also sometimes uses or works with local merchants. Umhm. And either for free or pays them to allow operators to use the res
Relocate one, we follow the smf procedures, posting a public hearing if somebody issues a concern. And then we secure the preliminary permits from dpw. I wanted to address one of the issues about placement of controllers on the near side of intersections. Like i said, sometimes its just really difficult for us to try to place them on the far side. All things being equal, we would want that controller to be on the far side of the intersection so we have maximum visibility for pedestrians. But sometimes with all the constraints that were faced against with that near side location somehow that only works. And id be happy to followup with andres where there seems to be an issue [speaker not understood]. There is no parking for the lane, its right up against the sidewalk. We can take a look at what we can do with that controller. Thank you. Great, thank you very much. Colleagues, no questions . Terrific. I want to thank all the city staff for those very informative presentations. And as wit
